EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES “Not every one will care for Mr, Neuburg’s tone in all the pieces, but heis undoubtedly a poet to be reckoned with, and a volume so original as this is should create no small stir. It is superbly produced by the publishers.”—Sussex Daily News. “When one comes to the poems . . . it is evident that they are written in English... . In a certain obligue and sub-sensible sense, eloquent and musical. . . . Distinetly Wagnerian in their effects. . . .”—Scotsman. “Itis full of ‘the murmurous monotones of whispering lust,’ ‘the song of young desire,’ and that kind of poppycock.”—London Opinion. “A competent master of words and rhythms. . . . His esoteric style is unreasonably obscure from an intelligent plain poetry-lover’s standpoint."—Morning Leader. “A charming volume of poems, Pagan glamour. . . passion and vigour. . ‘Sigurd’s Songs’ are commendable for dealing with ‘the ail too largely neglected ‘Scandinavian theology.. A scholarly disciple. . The entire volume is eminently recommendable.”—Jewish Chronicle. “A gorgeous rhapsody. . Fortunately, there are the police. . On the whole, we cannot help regretting that such splendid powers of imagination and expression are flung away in such literary rioting.” —Light. “Sometimes of ‘much beauty of rhythm and phrase. . . .”—Times. “Poets who have any originality deserve to be judged by their own standard. mystic or semi-astrological pantheist.. . ."—Liverpool “Love-making appears to have an added haloin his eyes if it is associated with d: 0 bloodshed. . Mr. Neuburg has a ‘careless rapture’ all his own; the carelessness, indeed, is just the trouble, His .versification is remarkable, and there is something impressive in its mere fluency. . . . So luxurious, so rampant, a decadence quickly palls. ... On the whole, this book must | e pronounced a quite grievous exhibition of recklessness and folly.”—Manchester Guardian. . We began to be suspicious of him, Hardly the sort of person we should care to meet on a dark night with a knobby stick in his hand.. . . This clever book.”—Academy. “A vivid imagination fostered by a keen and loving insight of nature, and this allied to a com- mand of richly adorned language . . . have already assured for the author a prominent place amongst present-day poets... . An enthusiastic devotion to classic song. . . sustained metrical charm. From first to last the poet’s workis an important contribution to ‘the century's literature.” —Publishers’ Circular. “This [book] contains the answer to a very well-known riddle propounded by the late Elizabeth Barrett Browning. You remember she asked in one of her poems, ‘What was he doing, the Great God Pan: Down in the reeds by the River?’ Well, Mr. Victor Neuburg has discovered the answer, for he was obviously wandering near the river if he was not hidden in the reeds. . . Rosert Rossin The Bystander, “There is no question about the poetic quality of much of Mr. Neuburg’s verse... . We are given visions of love which open new amorous possibilities.”—Daily Chronicle. “Sheer ennui is apt to say ‘morbid, and haye done with it. But hereis Mr. Neuburg, with real literary and temperamental gifts .. . but it is not honest to deny that heis actually straying here and there upon the borders of a definite region of consciousness; that the evil and power he acclaims and fears have a phantom existence. . . .”—Westminster Gazette.
